Welcome to my series on life as an autistic ADHDer.

This space is where I reflect on masking, burnout, identity, and healing. I’m writing my way back to myself—one post at a time.

This is the series where I get honest about what it means to be autistic, ADHD, and alive in a world that often misunderstands us.
These posts are part reflection, part rebellion, part survival guide. Unmasking is messy, ongoing, and personal—but I’m sharing these words because I know I’m not the only one trying to figure it all out.
